get 415 Unsupported Media Type when testing my .Net Web API using postman

The below code is my UploadImagea action in my controller.

        [HttpPost]
        [ActionName("UploadImage")]
        [AllowAnonymous]
        [Route("[action]")]
        public async Task<string> UploadImage( IFormFile file, string folder, int SchoolId, byte EnvironmentType)
        {
            _galleryService.InvokeAzureSettings(SchoolId, EnvironmentType);
            try
            {
                var res = await ((GalleryService)_galleryService).UploadImage(folder, file);
                return res;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return ex.ToString();
            }
        }

The below screenshots is from my postman, the Content-Type I'm testing is multipart/form-data . All other actions are working fine. I don't know why I get 415 error code, how to solve it? sc1 sc2

No need to define any file in body just check if the client side is sending file in body by using HttpRequest from IHttpContextAccessor.

 [HttpPost]
 public IActionResult UploadDocument()
    {

        var httpRequest = context.HttpContext.Request;
        List<IFormFile> lstFiles = new List<IFormFile>();
        foreach (var files in httpRequest.Form.Files)
        {
            lstFiles.Add(files);
        }
        return Ok();
    }

Create a model to hold the desired form data

public class Model {
    public IFormFile file { get; set; }
    public string folder { get; set; }
    public int SchoolId { get; set; }
    public byte EnvironmentType { get; set; }
}

Update the action to expect the data from a form using the appropriate attribute

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("UploadImage")]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("[action]")]
public async Task<string> UploadImage([FromForm] Model model) {

    _galleryService.InvokeAzureSettings(model.SchoolId, model.EnvironmentType);
    try {
        var res = await ((GalleryService)_galleryService).UploadImage(model.folder, model.file);
        return res;
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        return ex.ToString();
    }
}
